Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
This role would suit a senior leader who has worked in a regulated environment and understands how to balance compliance with commercial and operational realities.
Requirements
Get help with your application
Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
You will ideally bring:
- Senior leadership experience across quality, compliance, operations, governance, assessment or regulation.
- Experience leading change and continuous improvement, rather than simply maintaining existing processes.
- Strong problem-solving skills and the confidence to challenge established ways of working.
- The ability to find a way to do things, which may not be apparent initially.
- Experience working with regulators and senior stakeholders.
- An interest in technology and modernising traditional/manual processes.
- Awarding organisation, professional body, regulated education or Ofqual experience.
- International experience is welcome, but not essential.
ABE is looking for a problem solver and a doer, someone who wants to improve the organisation, and live by such values.
